ALCOHOL & CANCER IN WOMEN

Cancer risk rises with moderate alcohol.
What it's in doesn't matter at all.
A study done in Britain
Found this is true in women
For cancers liver, breast and rectal.

But with moderate alcohol, they note,
With regard to mouth and throat,
Only in women who smoke tobacco
(A factor they kept track of)
Is cancer risk less remote.
